So, of course, since I believed her, I used it. BIG mistake! The washer was so outta balance, it flooded the little laundry roomcloset, and continued on into PP’s playporch. Oh great!NOT!!

But, at least the dryerpart worked! So, the clotheswere clean(ish), and now dry. So, I mopped up the mess, with some dirty,very handy for that purpose!, towels. And took the rest to (long-suffering) Sweet Friend’s to finish.

Later, he came over, and disconnected it, then I got a repairman out to look at it. It was dead as a door nail! The broken part, was not even manufactured any more. OF course!!

So, eventually XHpushed it out onto the driveway, so I could call the trash pick up. To my surprise, a little while later, a guy stops, and asks how much I want for it! I said free, the washer doesn’t work. He came back shortly with a truck, and hauled it away!! YES!!! fist pump

It’s good that you managed to get rid of the old one in the end. I still think it’s a shame you didn’t consider the paperweight idea, though. I’m certain if you’d used it, the paper underneath would not have been going anywhere. 🙂
